Collection: Canaiolo

Canaiolo is one of Tuscany's classic grape varieties. For centuries, it has been an important part of the region's most renowned red wines, typically blended with sangiovese. While sangiovese contributes structure, acidity, and energy, canaiolo adds juicy fruit, softness, and balance. It is a grape that rarely steals the spotlight but often enhances the overall blend.

At Copenhagen Wine, you will find only canaiolo from Tuscany - the grape's natural homeland. Here, it has been cultivated for generations, and here it shows its most authentic expression.

Canaiolo is rarely seen as a wine on its own. Therefore, it is particularly interesting that our producer Montenidoli has chosen to let the grape stand alone in a rosato. This provides a rare insight into the grape's own character and shows that it is not only a valuable player in Tuscany's classic blends but can also create wines with an independent and convincing expression.

Canaiolo is also easy to recognize by its characteristic red stems - a trait that has made it recognizable among winegrowers in Tuscany for generations.

If you want to understand the Tuscan wine tradition, canaiolo is a grape worth getting to know. It tells the story of a grape variety that has long worked behind the scenes but can also deliver wines with its own identity and great personality with the right producers.
